Good luck with Nissan on getting them replaced. Will be hard. Get12, you avatar is annoying!!!!

I need some for my Volks as well. Although I want them in 35ish length, not 50mm. Plus they only fit with 19mm width! So guess the Nissan ones are no option and I should look into McGard ones?

I would recommend to look at 2004+ 350Z as it's less likely to get problems! I know people on this forum run a 2003 with no problems, but still a lot of 2003 models have some problems. Normally these would be repaired during warranty, but the 3 year warranty period has probably passed already...

Wouldn't mind any of the cars stored in the garage!

I found this a while back on German websites.... These people shouldn't be allowed to drive around!

Sh*t, this is already #531 who damaged his Z in the rain with VDC off..... They should replace the airbag stickers with stickers saying: 'DON'T SWITCH VDC OFF DURING RAIN WITH BRIDGESTONES!' I wouldn't mind either to see more of Katja...

VAT/Customs vary, but most of the time it's not too much. Last time I paid 30 Pounds for a delivery of a 400 Pound digital camera..... Is this GB including the 'import friendly' shipping, as it isn't mentioned anywhere? Then it might be worth considering.... Maybe....

Confirmation of : WET+ESP OFF+BRIDGESTONES= BAD IDEA!

Directly from Kinitex is $369.99 with $90 shipment for me (Belgium), so $459.99 total. Guess delivery for the UK is the same..... So, sorry to destroy your offer, but it seems your price it isn't good enough to do it via the GB....

for the hints so far and the good going on... However, I would be interested in some more 'secrets' how to continue after cleaning the engine bay. Any tips for getting the plastic more shiny/metal less dull etc etc........

I got one and the fitment is perfect and quality seems good and long lasting!

You can always go and try to get if for less. If they ask 24,5K for it, you should at least be able to get it down to 23/23.5 or so.

I'm 100% sure the 06 models in the US got one which plays MP3. It will say on the headunit 'MP3' on the right hand side if I'm not mistaken. Not sure whether we will get them in Europe.

I have the IS300 one and it's fits perfectly. Just go on and order it from ebay. Cheapest way and who cares where they come from (japan/US/....).

I only listen to RnB etc. In my previous car I had a 10" Rockford subwoofer on a Rockford fosgate 700W rms amplifier. This does the job very well, no need for a bigger subwoofer.... I agree this Bose is junk and I'm thinking of replacing it as well, although I like to keep the interior as it is to keep the resale value.

I would be interested, only not on short term. I'm waiting for my Volk Wheels to arrive now and then I'll decide to get a suspension upgrade or not. Along with the order for this upgrade, I'll be getting a Nismo exhaust/Plenum Spacer/CAI/Stoptech stage 2 to keep the shipping cost down. So I don't know when exactly I'll have these mods fixed and I'll be ready for the UTEC tuning. Sorry it's a bit complicated, but getting this done before the mods is a bit silly. I need to drive to the UK in the near future anyway to visit an old colleague and to pick up a tonneau cover from Stuart..... So up to you whether you think it will be arranged within a month or in a few months. You can put me down if it won't be arranged on very short term....

Maybe it's a bit over the top, but one my Irish colleagues is a big fan of Rough Guides. He has them for multiple countries and these can point you towards dogdy little restaurants in small alleys which are exactly the best places to go to for food! Have a look: www.amazon.co.uk under books; 'Rough Guide"

Stock sound amplified and similar, but better look: Nismo More exotic sound, true dual, nice look for the back: Greddy Evo2 HKS Ti dual if you have quite something to spend, but not worth the money IMO. It's all very personal, as in combination with test pipes/high flow casts an exhaust can sound completely different. The best is to meet up with someone who already has a aftermarket exhaust installed. And yes, the choice would probably must different if you go for FI.

On holiday?

Looks very good. I want to get my plenum done as well. How much would it be approximately to get it polished? And I guess you're not able to drive the car without a plenum, so how long does it take normally?

Nismo + Kinetix cats sounds good to me...

So that's about 13.000 quid for the GT450 package? That's quite some money. Suppose you get warranty makes it worthwile....

The bose subwoofer is really the worst I've ever heard. That would be on priority one for me to replace. Although I'd like to keep the system stock as much as possible.... Also, in my previous car I had a full Rockford Fosgate setup. I might be a bit spoiled....
